Groups Challenge Snowmobile Trails

MISSOULA, Mont. (CN) – Environmentalists say the U.S. Forest Service illegally approved the “grooming” of 158 miles of snowmobile trails in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, without public notice or comment or environmental analysis. Plaintiffs claim, among other things, that the snowmobiles will devastate wolverines.

Wildlands CPR and Friends of the Bitterroot are represented in Federal Court by Sarah McMillan with the Western Environmental Law Center.
